Dirty Shower And A Bit Noisy

Upon arrival, check in was easy. Once to our room, it seemed clean and comfortable. The following morning when I went to take my shower, I noticed flakes of soap and small black hairs in the soap dish. I looked at the tub area more closely and discovered. a long black hair. This was alarming as it told me the shower had not been cleaned from the previous guest. I wore my flip flops in the shower because, ewe. When we were leaving for the day, I stopped by the front desk and showed pictures to the receptionist and asked if she would send someone to clean the shower. She apologized and stated she would try to have someone clean it. Try? Ok… We arrived back to our room and the shower had not been cleaned. We will not be staying at this hotel when we return to San Diego.
